Abstract
Objective: The present study was designed to investigate the relationship between food quality indices, including Macronutrient Quality Index (MQI), and Carbohydrate Food Quality Score (CFQS), and the risk of bacterial vaginosis (BV) in Iranian women.
Results: In the adjusted model, after adjusting for potential confounders, significantly lower odds of BV were observed in the last highest tertile of the CFQS (odds ratio (OR): 0.317, confidence interval (CI) 95%: 0.155-0.646, p-value˂0.001), MQI (OR: 0.325, CI 95%: 0.176-0.599, p-value˂0.001), carbohydrate quality index (CQI) (OR: 0.288, CI 95%: 0.143-0.580, p-value˂0.001) and protein quality index (PQI) (OR: 0.498, CI 95%: 0.268-0.924, p-value = 0.029) compared to the lowest tertile of these indices.

期刊介绍:
BMC Research Notes publishes scientifically valid research outputs that cannot be considered as full research or methodology articles. We support the research community across all scientific and clinical disciplines by providing an open access forum for sharing data and useful information; this includes, but is not limited to, updates to previous work, additions to established methods, short publications, null results, research proposals and data management plans.
